The Forgotten Son   “Who is Nick?” She asked me in return. “Why do you ask that?” “Shhh.” I placed my finger to my mouth letting her know to lower her voice. I did not want Alex to hear us. Speaking in a lower tone, I explained. “Because he was acting weird during our dance. Asking me questions about me and Godric.” I could have slapped myself. Besides Luna Ariel, I wasn’t sure who else knew that Godric and I were mated. But I knew he did not want anyone else to know. “You and Godric? What about you and Godric.” I looked at her seriously. Almost ashamed for not telling her sooner. “If I tell you something. I need you to keep it quiet.” I waited a few seconds before continuing to show her I was serious. “Godric and I are mated.” Her eyes grew big and she squealed loudly. “Why didn’t you tell me? I just knew your mate was close.” “Shhhh,” I told her again. “I promise I will tell you everything tomorr

A Dance to Remember    The entire duration of the ceremony, my eyes were glued to Godric. It wasn't until the celebratory part of the night started that I noticed an increase in attendance. There were almost fifty more people than last night. More alphas, more Lunas, and more daughters willing to be married to the Alpha King. Once we gathered under the tent, the music started playing and food was brought out. Same as last night. Only this time, Alex and Godric were at a table by themselves. Constantly approached my Alpha’s wanting to discuss politics, borders, and marriages. I had no idea how much responsibility would gall on Godric once he officially became Alpha King. No wonder why his father started training him and Alex at a young age. If he did not, he may have been crushed under the weight of dealing with so much. With her status now lower, Luna Ariel was now seated with everyone else. I found her sitting at a

Always in The Pack   I was too wired to stay asleep. I stayed awake until the party dwindled. And once I was sure everyone was asleep or in their houses, I went for a run. My wolf needed to stretch her legs. I think she was just as worried as I was that we would be locked away in some cage. Even though it was written in the treaty that I would not be caged, who knows if I could really trust Evander. No one would be there ensuring he holds up his part of the bargain. By the time I finished showering and getting dressed, it was time to go. A worker in the house assisted me with carrying my bags downstairs. Waiting for me in the driveway were Alex, Godric, and Anna. We all piled into one car. Behind us were seven vans. I suppose those would be transportation to bring the prisoners back to the pack lands. The exchange would take place at the two cabins where the negotiations were held almost a week before. During the

Commander   I was woken by a loud knock at my hotel door. The knocking persisted until I finally shouted, “OKAY!! I’m up!” The person on the other side of the door chuckled before saying, “You’ve got twenty minutes, and then we are pulling out.” I sighed wishing I could sleep a little longer. The sun was barely up and they were ready to hit the road. I brushed my teeth. Then threw a pair of jeans, a plain white crop top, and a pair of white vans. I grabbed my backpack and checked the room to make sure I didn’t leave anything. All of the rest of my bags were still stuffed in the trunk of Evander’s car. I opened the door and Evander was standing directly in front of me. “I thought I was going to have to come in there and get you.” “What? A girl can’t brush her teeth and dress.” I said in a rude tone as I brushed past him. I made a beeline to the car with Evander on my heels. He passed me by to hurry

Obstacles    Evander practically threw me into the car, slamming the door behind him. I'd never been so scared in my life. It was only the first day and I already made him lose his temper. His eyes were black as night when he snapped Brad's neck. Granted I was angry with the young boy, but I didn't want him dead. I couldn’t help but think, what would have happened if Evander had not shown up. My skin began to crawl as I relived Brads’ hand on me. My mind came back to the here and now when Evander jumped in the driver’s side, slamming his door as well. The entire crowd who witnessed everything just stood around looking at the car drive away. I was shocked to see what just happened didn’t break up the party. The music started again as we pulled out the driveway. What's more surprising is no one did anything to stop him. They just watched as Evander handed down a death sentence. Without question or plead
